    Ok, so I hooked up with this wild wild wild girl. She wanted to come over and play Zombies Ate my Neighbors. I was about a year sober at this point. I was going to be careful careful.

    She showed up with alcohol. At first I was like, “Nah, I’m not gonna drink.” But slowly, she got me there.

    So I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face, stretched and yawned, and right in the middle of that yawn it dawned on me. “You did things with that Appalachian dope hooker that a man should only do with his wife!” It was like getting hit in the gut right in the middle of a yawn. That “ooouuuuuhwuh” action. You get it.

    I panicked, went and got tested, and thank every fucking god ever worshipped by mankind I was clean.

    This meme made me think of that. Gah.

    Don’t drink and dopewhore. It could cost you your life. :p

      Scarier thing to me is breaking sobriety… I can live a happy healthy life with an std… I can’t do that with drugs and alcohol… hope your doing well with sobriety and it was just a small hiccup friend!!!

        I really really appreciate this comment.

        I’ve been clean from opiates for almost a decade. I have found balance with alcohol. I went to AA for years so I know that most people can’t.

        I banned liquor from my home and I have a few beers after work. I never take home more than I know I can handle.

        Seriously, I appreciate how much you obviously care about someone you’ll probably never meet.

        This little comment might mean more to me than any I’ve ever got from someone online.
